If your boyfriend is a fan of The Sandman, then there are plenty of great options you can consider for a meaningful and personal Christmas gift.

1. The Sandman graphic novels: The best place to start would be the original comic book series that your boyfriend loves.

Purchasing a complete set of the comics or buying individual books would be a great gift idea for any fan.

2. The Sandman audiobook: For an interesting twist on the original narrative, you could get your boyfriend the full-cast audio production of The Sandman, produced by Audible Originals. The production is narrated by Gaiman himself and features James McAvoy, Kat Dennings, Michael Sheen, Riz Ahmed, Taron Egerton, Samantha Morton, and many more recognizable voices. This audio production would make a fantastic gift for a fan who wants to experience The Sandman in a new way.
